New York City’s subway system already has more than 10,000 existing security cameras in its 472 stations that have played a role in solving major crimes, though the system doesn’t work flawlessly.
Like most security cameras now found throughout New York City, the ones being installed in subway cars won’t be monitored live. But Hochul said they would still be valuable as a deterrent, since people will know they are being recorded, and that the footage could be valuable to investigators trying to solve crimes.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City’s subway system had largely shaken its 1980s reputation as being filthy and crime-ridden, though complaints about overcrowding and reliability persisted. But after the pandemic emptied the system of riders, many New Yorkers began feeling unsafe underground again.
But when China does this, they're evil. Hm...
What? Surveillance cameras are ubiquitous in New York? Isn't that an important indicator of a police state?
Congratulation !
China install camera: Surveillance state. New York install camera: Rebuild riders faith in safety. Shameless hypocrite.
human rights disaster! you are invading people's privacy
it's called security and safety in US, but privacy invasion in other countries
US： for the safety of the people China: monitor and control 🙃
Dont learn from China, USA can do better, show the world how good freedom can be in the US lol
Dystopian surveillance state
WOW! Aren't New Yorkers worried about a 'dictatorship'? Has the 'Fight for Democracy and Freedom, Protect Personal Privacy' marches ready to go on the streets of New York? World citizens will find where's dictatorship government, it's only in USSR/ Russia/ China but in US! 😂
If there are so many security cameras installed in NYC, then why the crime rate is still so high? Are these surveillance cameras are for safety of the residents in NYC or there are other purposes?
We should put these in all of our neighborhoods.
The calledthis surveillance state in China. hypocrites have double standards
In China it's bad, in the US it's 'security'
If they were ALREADY everywhere, and they can't stop crime, what good will more cameras do?
Wow more shit for the homeless to break and destroy lol
What? Surveillance cameras already everywhere in NYC? New Yorkers are closely watched by government?
Will they be like San Francisco and refuse to release footage since it will make people racist?
Great, now they’ll get better footage of someone getting mugged for liberal DAs to do nothing with.
Why isn't there at least one cop on every train?
When everything is a crime, and most people break 4-5 laws per day just existing, they just use the 'law' as a revenue generator..
Seems like a petty way to generate revenue... Like those DUI check points where they just hand out tickets for busted tail lights or no seat belt, and stop very little drunk drivers if any..
Please join the rest of the transit systems around the world in 2022 🙄
Yay more eyes for spynet
1984
I thought they were already there...Yikes...You pretty much need this in order to exonerate or investigate police response either way since body cams footage might be obscured in tight crowds.
globalcmrpt Better watch BradPANDER, he’s definitely gonna try playing wanna-be politician on this one…. BradPANDER
It’s about damn time we catch all the white supremacist attacks on Asians smdh…
Cause they've worked so well on the streets?
Why bother? When you see who is committing all the crime you’re gonna just come up with some bs reason about how it’s not their fault
Oh good we can be just like London.
The AP Reporting on NYCTA placing cameras on Subway cars. Sounds great until you see Videos in businesses.A lope sided Approach to a serious crime serge. Criminals need to be Caught, Tried and Locked up. No point in seeing the Crime and then freeing the Criminals.
